Still, for this cluster over LAN over IP experiment, let's use VAXes, if you don't mind?
That's fine.
You set up the boot node, mine will be satellites.
Okay.
You don't use the 10.10.10.0/24 subnet, do you?

Well to be honest, it's easy and works - the host box has been up for months, no problems.
QAMAR runs in AlphaVM-Free under Win7, no problems so far.
But it's not exactly FAST :)

I personally prefer SIMH VAXes though, they run on anything and are fast enough.
And they run on everything I've tried to run them on. ;)
I'll go poke army router.

A lot cheaper than when they were new! You can get a very respectable small Alpha for a couple hundred bucks pretty much anytime.
But either way, cheap isn't everything. If you emulate an Alpha on a PeeCee...you're still running a PeeCee.

We could do OpenVPN Layer 2 bridging. Can it be made to handle the multicast bits? My ISP here (512k up!) blocks L2TP proper unfortunately.
My mail server on the other hand has plenty of bandwidth and blocks no protocols, but it's running low on RAM.
My primary VPS would need another IP and a little bit of MAC hackery, but I might be able to get my provider to allow that. It runs FreeBSD and I don't think any alpha simulators run on it natively alphavm-free may run in linux binary compat, though...
Let me know when you got the VPN up - I'll roll a SIMH-VAX and cluster it with you :)
I have a VPN up here at my house, Not sure if it'll do Layer 2 stuff properly though, I'm kind of inexperienced with that. ;)
